Abstract
Description
-
- i.) fastening a function element onto the base body which has, in at least a portion of its volume, a metallic material composition. which is different in comparison with the material of the base body and preferably comprises at least partially radiopaque and/or radiologically opaque material, and
- ii.a) plasma-chemical treatment of the base body with the function element in an aqueous solution containing phosphate ions for creating a first layer on at least the portion of the body surface having/forming the borderline area that is between the base body and the function element and extends to the surface, or
- ii.b) applying a first layer containing magnesium stearate to at least the portion of the body surface having/forming the borderline area that is between the base body and the function element and extend to the surface.
- 1, 1′ base body of the inventive device
- 3, 3′ function element
- 5, 5′ first layer
- 7 detail
- 9, 9′ transitional area (joining zone) between the
base body 1 and/or 1′ and thefunction element 3 and/or 3′ - 10, 10′ area of the
first layer 5 and/or 5′ with oxides and/or phosphates of the base body material - 11, 11′ area of the
first layer 5 and/or 5′ with oxides and/or phosphates of the base body material and of the function element material - 12, 12′ area of the
first layer 5 and/or 5′ with oxides and/or phosphates of the function element material
